OK, I will take a careful look at the code and get back to you. Without having looked at the code, I would say that the backups probably worked with those modes turned on, but I will be surprised if the data was actually encrypted or compressed. However, I wrote the code long enough ago that I'll have to look at it to be 100% sure ... > > > > However, moving onto the 'Recovery Storage Group' restore method: > http://www.bacula.org/manuals/en/concepts/concepts/New_Features.html#SECTIO >N005175000000000000000 This doesn't work. > > The 'Recovery Storage Group' method gives me 'cryptographic' warnings when > I have encryption turned on, and an 'unknown error'. > If I turn encryption off and start again, I only get the 'unknown error'. > I haven't yet tried turning compression off. I'll let you and James work out the details of ways of doing things work the best since I currently do not have a test environment. I would appreciate it if you and/or James would let me know if any changes need to be made to the documentation once you have determined what does and does not work.
